Fighting it without any effects is much worse than not doing anything. I'm sure some countries have thought of it, but analysis has proven it to be not worth it. Bitcoin is not threatening to destabilize the government,…
I doubt there can even be and will ever be something like a fair taxation in the US. Maybe we should first define what is "fair". For one person a fair taxation will be 1%, for another 20% and for me personally no %…
- Not Legal Yet But Also Not BannedJul 21, 2025
If something is not illegal, as in added to the code of law, it is legal. For bitcoin to become illegal there would have to be established laws against it. If there are no such laws, it's completely legal, and since law…
- Understanding death taxes on btcMay 6, 2025
It's the same in most countries and all across the EU. You can accept the inheritance or not. If taxes owed from accepting something would be higher than the value of that thing you can refuse to inherit it and not have…
- Bitcoin isn't priceyDec 28, 2024
Even the term itself can be understood differently depending on where you are and what your status is. Someone running a business in the US who earns over $100k a year will see a $50k bitcoin as good long term…
This isn't true. You can hide the payments you receive in cryptocurrencies but you can't hide the fiat money obtained by converting them on exchanges and most merchants use automated processors to do it. I don't know…
- Gary, what’s the deal with Ethereum?Aug 17, 2024
I don't think there's going to be one, since bitcoin became a political leverage. Look what's going on on the political scene in the US. They're starting their presidential campaigns and a some candidates are using…
- Gary, what’s the deal with Ethereum?Aug 12, 2024
You should also listen to the part where he's being questioned by Waren Davidson, who not only makes Gensler sweat in his seat, but also proposes to remove him from his position. In short, Gary Gensler is asked about…
- Thoughts on BTC by 2030Oct 27, 2022
So, I won't tell you anything about the price because it's literally impossible to tell what bitcoin will be trading at in 6 years, but what I can tell you is bitcoin will survive. It will still be here and will be…
As I recall Jihan was removed first because he lost a lot of money for the company by agreeing to mine BCH with Roger Ver. Ver sold Wu on the idea that BCH would be the next Bitcoin and if they managed to get more value…
- Regulation in crypto: Is it necessary?Mar 5, 2022
I agree with the author that there are two sides of regulation and there will always be those who embrace it and want to run a legal business and pay taxes. I'm more on the purists' side and believe that we don't need…
- German officials reconsider their approachDec 7, 2021
This is very interesting because they moved back that $2k and then some other articles claim that they send 500BTC worth $28m to exchanges today. Why would they take back 2k and days later send 25% out to be sold? Makes…
- German officials reconsider their approachDec 2, 2021
According to the Forbes article they pulled back ~2k BTC but the amount they sent to exchanges was 7800 BTC. The rest was sold and caused the liquidations and the drop in spot price. They did not buy back anything.…
- German officials reconsider their approachDec 2, 2021
So, as most of you probably know, the recent dip was mainly due to two things. First off, the German government offloaded nearly $400 million in bitcoins, which led to a wave of long position liquidations. Because of…
- Gemini and Digital Currency Group ShowdownAug 16, 2021
So? Even if they go bankrupt it doesn't mean they will dump all of it on centralized exchanges to crash the market. Only scammers like Do Kwon are this dumb. I don't expect a real company that's this big to make a move…
- Is the unregulated market legal or illegal?Jun 3, 2021
Everything is legal until the appropriate laws that make it illegal are established. Since the law decides what is and isn't legal, if there are no laws that say BTC can not function without proper regulations it…
- $3 Million Crypto Heist Need Urgent HelpApr 27, 2021
Bad choice. In a bear market it's bitcoin that always holds the most of its value. Altcoins get wasted. Someone who was involved since 2013 should know that. Wallets should be secured by passwords. Did they force you to…
Makes you wonder why they chose Poland. It's well known as one of the countries where crypto companies are not welcome. I remember reading about their biggest exchange Bitbay moving to Malta because it was being…
- Why the US Needs to Outlaw CryptoDec 27, 2019
Most of us here are below 50. Imagine having almost 100 years behind you. That's a lot of time in traditional finances. We're talking about people who were older than many of us bitcoin holders when Hitler was on the…
It's all external manipulation, not internal problems of the bitcoin network. The same external manipulation could make bitcoin go to 120k next month. You see bitcoin fall because traditional markets were spooked by…
